What This Means For Kyri’s Future Career Path
This Is An Exciting New Direction For The Actor
While it’s likely that Kyri will continue to act, the fact that he has recorded an EP shows he has a love for music. After Chicago FIre, he could be gearing up to pursue a serious career as a recording artist. It will be interesting to see if he chooses to balance music with acting or leans more heavily in one direction.
There is always the chance that Kyri will take some time away from the screen to focus on his music for a while, and he could even make a record in that time. But being that he is an actor first and foremost, it seems like this is his main passion, and is something that he will continue to explore and enjoy.
Our Take On Kyri’s New Project
This Could Open Up Exciting New Opportunities
It is not uncommon for actors to also become musicians, and vice versa, and it’s great that Kyri is exploring another passion, not to mention talent he has. This could open up exciting new opportunities for him in terms of music and might even become something he can interlink with his acting projects as well.
While it will be strange to watchChicago Fireseason 14and not see Darren Ritter, it is great to see that Kyri is moving on from the procedural, and trying something completely different. He is pushing himself as an artist in a way that is very different fromChicago Fire, and this could present an exciting future direction for his career.
